So far the feds have given $5,070 to the graduate fellowship working on the project:
“Antennas operating near or inside the human body are important for a number of applications, including healthcare,” a grant for the project said. “Implantable medical devices such as cardiac pacemakers and retinal implants are a growing feature of modern healthcare, and implantable antennas for these devices are necessary to monitor battery level and device health, to upload and download data used in patient monitoring, and more.”
The grant said that an implantable device could be used for “long-term patient monitoring” and “biometric tracking,” or using technology to verify a person’s identity.
“Despite their potential use in long-term patient monitoring and wireless biometric tracking there is limited research on [Ultra High Frequency] UHF [radio-frequency identification] RFID for insertion in high-loss human body environments,” the grant said. “This research will greatly benefit from procedures already in place at Dr. You Chung Chung’s antenna lab at Daegu University in Daegu, Korea.”
The project will test different types of ultra high frequency antenna designs that can be “inserted under the skin for a permanent application.”
“Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RFID tag antennas are printed using conductive ink and have found increased applications due to advantages such as minimal cost, low maintenance, good tag read range, and ability to operate without an integrated battery,” the grant said.
Funding is being distributed through the NSF’s East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes (EAPSI) for U.S. Graduate Students.
The NSF told the Free Beacon that the project is working on how to make a temporary tattoo-like device that can be implanted under the skin.
“This award is a fellowship supporting a U.S. graduate student to conduct research in Korea this summer with a known expert in his field, enhancing the fellows’s research and supporting his professional development,” said Jessica Arriens, a public affairs specialist for the NSF.
“This specific award supports the student to conduct fundamental bio-engineering research on in-body antennas, which are used to communicate with medical devices implanted inside the body (a pacemaker, for example),” she said. “Those devices use antennas to record everything from battery levels to patient health. This fellow is studying how to make more resilient antennas, sort of like temporary tattoos that can be implanted underneath the skin and better relay information from implanted medical devices.”

We certainly have been inundated over the years with the idea that people would be much better off with the implantation of some sort of RFID device. A couple of examples being the implanted passwords in your stomach and brain that Paypal wants to put inside you, to the DARPA/Google collaboration that reflects this new NSF project quite closely: an “authentication microchip” that is also placed in your stomach and a nifty little ‘mind reading tattoo’ that they are sure you kids will love.
The language in Obamacare has caused great concern that mandatory chip implantation is part of the healthcare agenda.
The mainstream media has been propagandizing the ‘benefits’ of RFIDs for years. Heck, even the NFL has been using these tracking devices. We are obviously been acclimated to the thought that this ‘chipping’ of people is not only ok, but the ‘wave of the future’.
To the ppl who think that your putting the mark on this family you’ve got another thing coming, and it comes in all calibers and @ different ranges
I never thought in my lifetime I would see the 2nd Coming of Christ but it sure does seem I will.
agree, so amazing!
Not happen2
No !
The mark of the beast !
No Way In Hell!
Over this woman’s Dead Body only!
Give them Hell Brother Man.
Nope none for me Thanks. Just put me in the gas chamber OK cause I ain’t getting tagged with an RFID chip.
